governor romney was describing today? they have so far not given us any answer. hope springs eternal. it should be noted, those were his lines on guns in the speech. after that mystifying map of vagueness today about guns, finally mitt romney got to the punch line part of his speech. listen. >> in a second term, he'd be unrestrained by the demands of re-election. >> ah, i see. that's what this is all about. president obama hasn't necessarily done anything now, but he has a secret plan to take away everybody's guns in the next term. a secret plan he's not pursuing now. he will pursue that plan if he wins a second term. that's what gun politics is like right now. president obama has a secret plan to take away your guns. you can tell he has a plan to take away your guns because he hasn't yet taken away your guns. don't you see? but still you need to stop him from doing this thing that he has not done. that's what our gun politics are all about right now. rather than doing something about what is going on in the country about

utah governor john huntsman had looked like the other mitt romney, the other establishment good guy to beat, but when he threw his support to mitt romney, that was a feather in his cap. another romney supporter for the long, long lists of romney supporters. check out john huntsman on this network earlier today when he was asked about last night's republican debate. >> gone are the days when the republican party used to put forward big, bold, visionary stuff. i see zero evidence of people getting out there and addressing the economic deficit, which is a national security problem, for heaven's sake, in addressing the trust step. i think we're going to have problems until we get some sort of third party movement or an alternative voice that can put forward new ideas.

romney did leave the massachusetts governor's office in january 2007, but then literally one month later, he launched his first presidential campaign, in february of 2007. he didn't "leave the world of politics" and go back into business. that's a lie. and moreover, that is an unnecessary, unforced, but apparently very easily told lie for mr. romney. and speaking of mr. romney's one term in massachusetts, here's what he told an ohio audience recently about taking his massachusetts-based health care policy national. >> early on, we were asked, is what you've done in massachusetts something you'd have the entire government do, the federal government do? i've said no, from the very beginning, no. this is designed for our state and our circumstance. >> again, that is a lie. mr. romney said the country should do what he did in massachusetts. here, for example, is an op-ed that he wrote in "usa today." can we zoom in on the headline there? oh, "president obama could learn a thing or two about health care reform from massachusetts," so says mr. mitt romney. mr. romney has, in fact, argued repea

. >> i wanted to talk to you about your history of reporting on governor romney over his long political career and your research over his political career. have you seen instances where he insisted on political in k inconvenient honesty and chastised people and told advisories to do something although it might be shady and might benefit him. have you seen things that maybe i'm not seeing at the presidential level? >> i can't recall instances like that. certainly, i remember this criticism when he was governor, a couple cases i can think of, one you talked about on your show, massachusetts was part of this regional gas initiative, this regional effort to lower greenhouse gas emissions. i remember being at an energy conference when mitt romney was defending it and saying i've had industry leaders come up to me, meaning corporations saying this is going to hurt our bottom line because energy costs are going to go up. i assured them it was only 1 or 2%. there was a certain point he changed and get mad at me and said i have to get you a transcript of that. i said, i was there and now you're
